The main reason for using hacks like shifting the UIImagePickerController up and showing selected images underneath was because the asset library alternative would involve the user being asked for location access due to the information about where the photo was taken being available in the image metadata.

In iOS 6 the user is asked if they want to allow the app to access their photos (not location) and you get asked this question for both the asset library approach and the UIImagePickerController approach.

As such I think that hacks like the above are nearing the end of their usefulness. Here is a link to a library providing selection of multiple images using the Assets library there are others.
